Careers

Join our growing team
Yes, we’re a team of analytical minds who find delight in detail. But the reason we gel so well, is that we care about finding solutions to support a prosperous future for the lives and families we touch every day. Humans, helping humans, with a flair for practicality that comes with a lifestyle living in the countryside.

Our Values

Trust

Nurtured with our hard work and keeping to our word, we care about doing as we say. Often going (and driving) the extra mile to find a better way to construct a case or collaborate with our clients on the land.

Respect

We regard respect as the ultimate achievement, and so we strive to continually earn it from our clients, our team and our rural communities.  We know our reputation is only as good as our last case.

Approachability

We’re humans who highly value being easy to connect with and reach out to. We want our clients to feel comfortable to pick up the phone for a chat without fear they’re going to be charged for each and every minute.

Fairness

We're a legal voice representing our rural communities. We advocate passionately for fairness and to be rightfully heard amongst policy makers and noise from city firms. And we’re proud of it.

We're one big family

Our team cultivates a culture of mutual support, devoid of egos, where our long-standing team exemplify the respect we hold for one another. We recognise helping clients with their issues can sometimes take a toll on our own wellbeing, so we have an employee assistance provider to be there for us when needed. Regular one-on-one check-ins ensure we prioritise staff well-being and celebrate both personal and professional achievements. We also champion work-life balance, recognising that choosing to live and work in regional Victoria should allow us to cherish our home lives and families.

We give back to our community

We actively engage in community initiatives and fundraising efforts, participating in events such as the Biggest Morning Tea, Jeans for Genes Day, Let's Talk Colac, fundraising for local initiatives like Annum Cara, and contributing through team blood donations. We also proudly sponsor our local sports clubs, community events and the Colac Chamber of Commerce. Leveraging our networks and expertise, we advocate for fairness, particularly in support of our farming community and for sensible legislation. We frequently share valuable education with our community across radio, newspapers, and socials, addressing local legal matters.

We have fun, while hard at it

Our vibrant social committee fosters strong connections among us, arranging dinners and functions to celebrate our successes. We come together at the office to celebrate birthdays, the arrival of new babies, and wedding festivities. In essence, we relish any reason to celebrate and enjoy a good party!
